Chapter 19 Bilian Village
"Oh, what about Xiao Wang?" Yuan Qing said again, you won't want me to call you master.
"Not good." He was almost composed, squeezing out between his teeth.
"Alas, so picky, how do I know what to call you?" Yuan Qing waved his hand with an innocent expression.
"Anyway, I don't like the two names you just called." He said with a cold face.
"What about the surname Li?" Call his last name directly.
"What do you say?" He called her out as no compliment.
"I think it's good." Yuan Qing raised his eyebrows, isn't that good?
"I don't think so." Li Chen grimaced.
"Then I'll call you Ice Cubeface." She said with a heartbeat.
"Do I look like ice?" There was a lot of unhappiness in his tone.
"How is it not like that? It's very similar" Yuan Qing raised his eyes to look at this face that was close in front of him, and the cold air was bursting, isn't this a face carved out of ice? "It's more like it's cold."
In history, the only person who dared to say to his face that he was an ice cube face was Yuan Qing. "Yuan Qing......" The voice was cold, as if it came from hell.
Yuan Qing was stunned for an instant, looked at him blankly, and ......his voice trembled.
I wanted to be angry, but seeing her stupid look, the anger that had just brewed was inexplicably extinguished, and he said lightly: "Just call me by name." ”
"Oh, Li...... Dust. Yuan Qing spoke slowly, and it was very difficult to pronounce the pronunciation of his name. It was originally a common thing to shout someone's name, but Yuan Qing called Li Chen's name, probably for the first time, and the shouting was not so smooth, and the person sitting in front of her was a super cold person......
The carriage slowly came to the entrance of the village. At this time, it was getting late, most of the villagers had already gone back to their houses to rest, and the carriage entering the village was a very common thing for the city people, but for the village people, it was a relatively big thing.
The two people in the car are quiet, and they like to be surrounded by a bunch of people. At this time, it is good to enter the village, it is quiet and quiet, and no one comes to disturb it.
The coachman drove the carriage outside the house that Ling Ran had rented. This house is a typical village house, with a small courtyard and a few cottages, but it is also spacious. This cottage is the ancestral home of a wealthy man in the village who made a fortune a few years ago. So the family moved into Qiuzhou City, leaving these bungalows and cottages to take care of his relatives, a few days ago, Ling Ran came here, and he rented this house from his relatives.
There are three or four huts, kitchens, firewood rooms, thatched houses. Bedrooms, halls, and other necessary things should be available, after all, this house was once the ancestral home of a wealthy family.
On this night, the moon bent, and the night breeze carried the cold of late winter and early spring.
There were two bedrooms, and on either side of the hall, one for each of them, went back to their rooms to rest.
The next morning, the rooster crows three times. Everyone was getting up, and it was still dark, but some of the villagers had already taken tools to hoe the ground.
Yuan Qing slept on an unfamiliar bed all night, and the quilt sheets were also very clean. Actually, this room. Before they came, they had already been taken care of by Ling Ran, and the prince loved to be clean, those quilts, furniture, and dishes and chopsticks that were necessary for daily use. He had to take care of everything.
Only Yuan Qing and Li Chen lived in this room, Ling Ran did not live here, there were not enough rooms, and there were two bedrooms in total......
In the morning, Yuan Qing got up and put it on, the clothes she bought yesterday were ordinary, Tsing Yi coarse cloth, typical village clothes, fortunately, Yuan Qing had a delicate face, a slender figure, and a chic temperament, even if she was wearing coarse clothes and torn pants, she was still very good-looking.
To fit in......
The morning breeze is blowing, the face is cold, after Yuan Qing washes up, she is cooking on the fire, and now there is no Chen Lan by her side, she has to do it herself.
In the early morning, just eat something light. Therefore, Yuan Qing boiled a pot of porridge, put some shredded meat and wolfberries bought from the market, and stir-fried some side dishes, and the breakfast was like that.
The meal was eaten at the table in the hall, so the meal was laid out, and the two sat down at the table and began to eat.
"You made this porridge?" Li Chen drank the soup porridge in the bowl and asked, his face looked joyless and angry, and he didn't know if he liked or disliked the porridge.
"How? Is it delicious? Yuan Qing asked. She was looking forward to it.
"Average." He replied noncommittally.
Yuan Qing's face collapsed instantly, what is the general meaning of adding one.
After eating breakfast, Yuan Qing sadly urged to wash the dishes.
What about life......
Coal mining, in this era, without excavators, without professional equipment, coal mining, it seems to be a little difficult, manpower has become very important.
Yuan Qing and Li Chen went to the foot of the mountain again, looked at it, knocked on it, and after a day, they determined that there was coal here, and the storage of coal was not a few, if it was mined, it would definitely make a lot of money.
Of course, the marketing method must also be good, and the people must accept the use of coal for fire. After all, no one has ever burned this with coal, but the coal has been dug up, and we must do everything we can to promote it, and we must only succeed and not fail. So, digging coal is a long battle.
If you dig it out, you have to buy it.
Now let's take the first step and dig out the coal.
How to dig? First of all, you need financial resources, as the so-called money can make ghosts grind, these two people are very rich, money is not a problem, then secondly, you need manpower, where does this person come from?
In the longer era of modern times, people dig coal, are a person guarding a coal kiln, he is the owner of the coal kiln, he will find a large number of strong men to help him dig coal, these strong men, some legal and some illegal, all depend on the color of the coal kiln owner's heart.
This village is called Bilian Village, located at the junction of Qiuzhou and Liuzhou, surrounded by mountains, isolated, relatively poor, they mainly rely on farming to make a living, and there is nowhere to work in this era, right? Farming, in fact, there is not much land in Bilian Village, and it can be said that most of the quarrels in the village occur because of land. The land is the life of the harvesters.
Bilian Village is not big, there are more than 80 families in the whole village, the surname Zhang is the main, and there are few and many other surnames.
Li Zheng in the village is a sixty-year-old man, he has white hair, although the clothes are shabby, but also clean, twelve old men with quite wise roots, the people in the village are quite convinced of him, if there is anything that can't be figured out, they will always come to ask him, and the villagers will respect him when they see him, "Zhang Lizheng".
In Zhang Lizheng's house, two guests came today, these two guests, they only stayed in Bilian Village the night before yesterday, the most noteworthy thing is that this man looks like a god in the sky, and the woman is also a girl that the villagers think is very good-looking......
With the man's super high appearance alone, he can't cause a sensation.
"Aunt Zhang, have you seen it? The house in the village had been vacant for three years, and someone had gone to live in it the night before. A woman said.
"I already knew, didn't a man go to tell the seventh sister-in-law a few days ago that he wanted to live in that room." Aunt Zhang said disappreciatively.
"But the person who really lives there is not that man Ling Ran, it's a man and a woman, it seems that they are a couple, but yes, that man looks like a fairy in the sky, very good-looking." The woman said, the with her eyes, she has been in the village all her life, when has she seen the demeanor of the first beautiful man in Qiuzhou.
In the village, unless it is a family, only husband and wife can live together. So the woman said that the man and woman who moved to Bilian Village last night were a couple.
"Since everyone has a lady, what are you talking about here?" Aunt Zhang was very helpless about this gossip-loving woman.
"Aunt Zhang, can't you say it? You say there is a man in our village who is so good-looking. She pursed her lips.
"Isn't that guy from the north of the village good-looking, like a big girl? Okay, okay, let's go home. Aunt Zhang said impatiently pushing the woman away.
So, the news of a couple staying in Bilian Village the night before spread in the village.
Lizheng's house in Bilian Village. There are a few wooden houses, and there are a few chickens and ducks in the small courtyard, and it is noon, and the old man is sitting at home, as if playing chess.
"Old man, you're playing chess." Yuan Qing was dressed in coarse cloth and green clothes, but she was also beautiful and moving.
"yes." Zhang Lizheng looked up and saw the two people in front of him, who had never seen him before, and was puzzled.
Yuan Qing said: "Old man, the two of us are from other places, and we just moved to your village the night before yesterday. ”
"Oh, you two moved in the night before yesterday." Zhang Lizheng pointed to the two of them and said without a smile.
"yes." Yuan Qing also smiled.
Li Chen stood aside, he has always been noble, he still exempted himself from nodding to others, he wanted to nod and nod to him, and others nodded to him, when will it be his turn to nod to others?
"Who is this?" Li Zheng looked at Li Chen, and seemed to be trying to recall in his mind, he was a little familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere, if my guess was right, he should be the prince who was not sealed in this Qiuzhou a few years ago...... Thinking of this, Li Zheng looked at Li Chen even more seriously. "Dare to ask this son, are you ......?"
"How is it, isn't it?" A faint voice came from the man's mouth, neither humble nor arrogant.
"The old man is clumsy." After speaking, Zhang Li bowed deeply to him, "Lord Wang." ”
Yuan Qing's eyes widened, no, he actually recognized who the ice cube face was......
The year before last, Zhang Li was going to Qiuzhou City, saying that this year's new prince, the prince is equivalent to the landlord of this place, although he is not an official, but it is a hundred times better than being an official, and the village chief naturally wants to get to know him. Then Zhang Lizheng knew the prince.
But speaking of which, this prince is quite recognizable, his temperament is dusty, his appearance is overwhelming, and when he stands in the crowd, people can recognize him at first sight.
Just like now, although the clothes Li Chen wears are very ordinary clothes, this person's temperament is completely unaffected by the clothes, although it is cold, it is elegant like a fairy.
The first beautiful man in Autumn State. To be continued
